Musical chairs

Friday, June 5th, 2009


I moved the pair of Bertoia diamond chairs from the living room into the master bedroom to modern things up a bit…well and because they got pushed out of the living room by the new butterfly chair and orange lounger.

The Bertoia diamond chairs replaced this pair of Brown Jordan chairs. So, to keep track…the bedroom before is above with the more regency style chairs.

Then the Brown Jordan faux bamboo chairs ended up moving to the kitchen breakfast bar to replace the Bertoia side chairs

Which then had to be moved out to the patio…


So to recap, a little diagram:

Living room—-Bertoia Diamond—Bedroom—Jordan Brown Faux Bamboo—Kitchen—-Bertoia Side—-Patio

Wow that was lame! And for another equally lame recap:

I have many chairs and only one butt. (-/ = chair, 3 = butt)

-/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ > 3

I’m just super addicted to chairs – its like crack. I gotta get my fix.


Light it up

Monday, June 1st, 2009


I found this 70’s brass ball light at a junkyard by my house for $7. I’ve tried cleaning it up, but it had been sitting outside for awhile and suffered a bit of wear and tear to the brassy finish. it works great though.

Its sort of floated around the house not really feeling “right” anywhere and I didn’t really think of putting it in the master bedroom since it wasn’t part of a pair. I slammed it on the nightstand since I desperately needed a reading light and ended up really liking it with the crazy glam chandelier. A pair may be overkill though and I’m not sure if I need another bedside light…

I do need a headboard. I’m thinking a long and lean finished plywood panel…hmmmm.

So the other thought is having a totally different type of light. Is it really fussy to have two totally different lights next to a bed? I was thinking of doing some sort of wall mounted black Bauhaus style industrial light on the other side.


Like this.

Or this

But you know “inspired” by. There is no way I’m buying a lamp for like thousands of dollars. I’m looking for something in the price range of 10’s of dollars.

New Lamp

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

I got a fancy looking vintage lamp this weekend from Amsterdam Modern. Ellen is having a sidewalk sale of 20 – 50% off items this upcoming weekend May 9th from 11 – 4pm, to make room for a bunch of new imported goodies. If you are in the Los Angeles area – I’d say this is a sale not to be missed. She has the most wonderful lighting and furniture to die for.

I need to rewire the lamp since it still has its European electrical, but for the price it was such a deal. I am totally going gaga for plastic Scandinavian lighting from the 70’s.
